Cross-platform hardware includes "smartphones and other portable devices", the latter of which likely refers to the PlayStation Vita.

Backing up earlier claims that the PS4 will focus on social gaming, the device will also be linked to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, enabling users to share achievements and videos on social media.

The report also suggests that PlayStation 3 titles will be playable using Gaikai cloud technology, and that the same tech will enable other Sony devices to run games beyond their current hardware capabilities.

The peripherals appear similar in design to the standard PS3 controller, except with a touchpad at the center and a light at the top that is expected to function in the same way as the orb at the end of the Move controller.

Details on the hardware specs for Sony's new console were recently leaked along with reports that the system will feature 4K resolution support in line with a rumored new range of Sony TVs.
